Napoli boss Carlo Ancelotti was shown a red card and sent to the stands as Atalanta twice came from behind to secure a 2-2 draw at the San Paolo Stadium.

Napoli took an early lead through Nikola Maksimovic, only for Remo Freuler to level with a clever shot through the legs of goalkeeper Alex Meret.

The home side regained the lead through an Arkadiusz Milik strike at the start of the second half and looked to be heading for all three points before Josip Ilicic’s 86th-minute equaliser.

The Napoli players and coaches were incensed by the referee’s decision not to award their side a penalty just after the equaliser, and manager Ancelotti was shown a red card.
